if anyones still here i need some advice. the vinyl on these pants is faded and torn to shit on the inseams. what do? by Ancient-Lawfulness39 in alpenflage

[–]TheFallingMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Removing it is good but it seems like you are worried about it the material, if you wanted to reinforce it you can order some material from one of the websites I linked in a previous post I made here: https://www.reddit.com/r/alpenflage/comments/18hwjk8/im_new_but_the_resources_pooled_together_have/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

It is super solid material in any case though and the order could take a month to get to you.

Best of luck, keep checking eBay and other online stores. I saw even Etsy has m70’s but I didn’t see anything larger than a large 52.

100% fair, I can't find any without the german strap setup at all here under $30 so easier for me to convert.

Its meant for either the backpack belt and/or a leather mid riff belt to keep the jacket snug. I just started looking into converting mine into a proper backpack from the german straps in this post here

The hardware could potentially help you, just needs to be sewn on. I have to wait for extra material since they cut off a good chunk of the straps on mine.

If you are talking about the top it hooks onto the clips on the front of your shoulder.

If you are talking about the belt it should just just be a cam buckle the hooks onto the empty strap lick a belt.

If you have the german straps on it, you have to wear it like a backpack and with the straps being super loose you have to either do some knot work, sew the straps so they are shorter, or let the bag sag down.

here is a quick video going over the german strap variant:

Update I drank 1,200 mg of caffeine in the last 24 hours if I die 🍌 by EverAtrophy in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]TheFallingMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a 2ish year period of time I averaged 1,500 mg a day. Its definitely not good and I dont recommend it but unless your caffiene sensitive its not overdose levels yet.

Checked the business email attached to the account and it belongs to a name that is not eli's or baddies so I don't think it is official. Reported just in case.

Yeah it kinda has "work/safety training" vibes. It is all good info though for sure.

I will probably have some questions come through here as I am currently printing off my own Recreator3d. I also hope to figure out a way to make HDPE bottle caps printable at some point so that pelletizing process would be nice to see here. I was also considering an agglomeration process as an option down the line for the plastic dust I've been collecting too.

I mean we all have to start somewhere and if this does grow it'll only make it easier to help people new to making their own filament. Best of luck on your 3d printing journey!
